"Bould O'Donoghue" lyrics

Oh, here I am from Paddy's land, the land of high renown
I've broke the hearts of all the girls from miles around Keady town
And when they hear that I'm awa', they'll raise a hullabaloo
When they hear about that handsome lad that they call O'Donoghue

For I'm the boy to please her and I'm the boy to tease her
I'm the boy can squeeze her and I'll tell you what we'll do
I'll court her like an Irishman and me brogue and blarney too is my plan
With my rolligan, swalligan, holligan, wolligan
Bould O'Donoghue

I wish my love was a red, red rose, growing on yon garden wall
And I can be the dew drop and upon your brow I'd fall
Perhaps that she might think on me as a rather heavy dew
No more she'd love the handsome lad they call O'Donoghue

For I'm the boy to please her and I'm the boy to tease her
I'm the boy can squeeze her and I'll tell you what we'll do
I'll court her like an Irishman and me brogue and blarney too is my plan
With my rolligan, swalligan, holligan, wolligan
Bould O'Donoghue

I hear the Queen of England has a daughter fine and grand
Perhaps she'd take it into her head for to marry an Irishman
If I could only get the chance to have a word or two
I'm sure she'd take a notion in the Bould O'Donoghue

For I'm the boy to please her and I'm the boy to tease her
I'm the boy can squeeze her and I'll tell you what we'll do
I'll court her like an Irishman and me brogue and blarney too is my plan
With my rolligan, swalligan, holligan, wolligan
Bould O'Donoghue

For I'm the boy to please her and I'm the boy to tease her
I'm the boy can squeeze her and I'll tell you what we'll do
I'll court her like an Irishman and me brogue and blarney too is my plan
With my rolligan, swalligan, holligan, wolligan
Bould O'Donoghue
